FotoFest has teamed up with the founders of the Mom 2.0 summit, a meeting of marketers, "mompreneurs" and social media enthusiasts, to present an exhibit of personal photographs taken by a handful of women in a growing movement of moms who share their daily experiences through social media, blogs and online photo communities.

Shutter Sisters founder Tracey Clark hand selected the photographs for Mom 2.0: Defining a Movement, and said that although many of the woman shoot professionally, the pictures on display are almost all candids from their personal collections.

The exhibit is a precursor to a larger event to be held at the Four Seasons Feb. 18-20: the Mom 2.0 Summit, organized by kirtsy.com and opmom.com.

The exhibit will close with a final viewing party for conference attendees Feb. 19, where photographs will be sold at silent auction with proceeds benefiting earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.
